Dedicated to Your Wellbeing
Dr. Amanda Maharaj, DC
Dr. Amanda found her calling in women's health, wellness, and preventative care. Her ability to tailor her technique and approach to the needs of her patients make her uniquely equipped to work with even the most apprehensive patients who may be new to Chiropractic. Those who have worked with Dr. Amanda appreciate her accommodating and gentle demeanor.
Dr. Derek Ko, DC
Dr. Derek spent his early years of his career serving all levels of athletes. Working on-field with professional CrossFit, Football, and Tennis athletes as well as semi-professional teams. He honed his skills with restoring function and quality of movement while strengthening his patients through what he calls "PRE-habilitative exercises" and advanced soft tissue work.
The MyChiroBalance Difference
At MyChiroBalance Function and Wellness, we collectively have 15 years of on-field, in-clinic, and on-site experience serving a diverse range of patients.
​
MyChiroBalance is the rebirth and reimagination of Dr. Derek's first private practice, drawing from the years of experience with challenging patient populations and the valuable experience and specialties that Dr. Amanda brings. MyChiroBalance pays homage to the humble beginnings of "ChiroBalance Spine & Sport" and aims to better serve a greater range of patients and all their needs.
​
Apart from their specialties, both Doctors have extensive experience working with older adults, at-risk, and other marginalized populations in the East Bay. Their passion and experience working in local, non-profit, and federally-subsidized clinics have further honed their diagnostic skills to serve those beyond the typical Chiropractic patient.
​
What sets us apart is the highly personal interactions our patients have come to rely on and appreciate. We take the time to truly listen, understand, and explain the often confusing and frustrating "medical lingo". After all, "doctor" comes from the Latin word for "teacher" and we believe it is important for our patients to not only understand, but to have an active role in their healthcare.
​
At MyChiroBalance, you can expect a patient-centered and research-based approach. It is our belief that although it is always a delight to see our patients, our job is to help them live independently and see us less as they journey through healing and into wellness. We are Doctors of Chiropractic, not salespeople - there are no "memberships", "long-term packages", or gimmicks. Simply put, if you're looking for straightforward, compassionate, effective, and transparent care, you're knocking at the right door.
